Most industrial dance music is either completely devoid of content or has a fairly serious political consciousness. Not so with My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. With its schlocky mix of samples, synths, beats, sex, Satan and drugs, the group is a hyped-up, stylized psychdelic dance troupe that revels in bad taste of all kinds.

In 1987, Groovie Man and Buzz McCoy approached Dannie Flesher and Jim Nash of Wax Trax! Records with the concept to create a B-horror movie entitled "My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult." The project almost got underway, and the two even went as far as to record a soundtrack to the film that subsequently became the group's first EP.

Incorporating an ever-changing array of musicians and female singers (known collectively as the Bomb Gang Girlz), My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult has always sounded just like it originally intended: a kitschy horror movie soundtrack. Even though the band has never made a movie, the music has been used in several motion pictures (The Crow, Showgirls, etc.) and the group generously samples from a wide variety of cult films and television shows.
